Zoe Salmon has revealed that she was “surprised and disappointed” that Colin Murray voted her out of the Fame Academy house two nights ago and chose to save Angelica instead.

How could she be surprised? It’s a singing contest….she can’t sing. And she’s not his girlfriend, Colin already has one of those.

Zöe Salmon (born 1980, in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland) is a British television presenter, currently hosting the children’s television show Blue Peter.

Early career

Salmon attended Kilmaine Primary School and Glenola Collegiate while growing up in Bangor, a town which she says is her ‘favourite place… It’s a really pretty seaside town with a marina which is lovely in the summer.’ She then attended Queen’s University of Belfast, where she gained a degree in law, before qualifying as a solicitor.

Miss Northern Ireland

Salmon was crowned Miss Northern Ireland in 1999 (beating Big Brother contestant Orlaith McAllister, who came second).

Blue Peter

Salmon was revealed as the 30th Blue Peter presenter on 25 October 2004. She first appeared on the show on 23 December 2004, in its 2004 Christmas special. She was originally meant to replace Liz Barker when the latter left on maternity leave; however, Barker had already returned, by the time Salmon made her debut. Read more & comment »
